Response:
Invasive burn cellulitis results in the burn developing a dark brown, black, or purplish color with a discharge and foul odor. In burn wound cellulitis, the area around the burn becomes increasingly red, swollen, and painful early in the course of burn management. Burn impetigo is characterized by multifocal small superficial abscesses. Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is not a burn infection, although it is managed similarly to burns.
